Girls get in the game

Wadlakonda students hope reaching the state level in sports competitions will help them secure good jobs in the future

At Wadlakonda, teachers are encouraging girls to excel in athletics as well as academics.

Especially in sports like cricket and volley ball, girls have been playing alongside boys. Every day, students practice after school under the coaching of Physical Education Teacher Mr. Prabhakar, who aims to send at least five students to state competitions.

The students hope that being good enough to compete at the state level would help them later qualify for strong jobs in military, police or railway.
